There are web applications, like FCKeditor, where users really expect to have
such kinds of features available. What should we do in such cases?

Wouldn't it be a much better to display "The application is trying to access
your clipboard information. Do you want to give access to it?", holding the
execCommand  execution until the user response, returning "true" or "false" if
the command has been executed?
